Dear Sweet Home Middle School Families,
We hope you are enjoying your weekend. This past week our 6th graders created an amazing Egyptian Museum in our Aud! Please take a look at the video of their work -- incredible work by our Panthers!

As we continue to work on the 7 Habits, we kindly ask you to remind your child(ren) to charge their iPad over night. This will help them arrive with fully charged devices at school. It is imperative for students to have a charged device in school every day. We appreciate your assistance with developing this habit.
We request your cooperation during the pick up and drop off times. The buses are facing a challenge to turn into our parking lots as cars are blocking the entrance. Please pull all the way up to the next available spot and the stop sign and then pick up/drop off your child. Students can enter through door 2 or door 3 for arrival and dismissal. Each afternoon we have a staff member helping to pull up cars safely. Please follow directions from our staff member directing traffic to help keep our entrance clear for buses. Please do not have students wait near door 1 to be picked up in the afternoon. Please see the map below for more details. Thank you for your help with this!
We would like to remind you of a few important dates:
- Multicultural Night on April 8th, 5:30-7:30pm. You and your family can enjoy a delicious dinner, engage in various multicultural games and activities, and learn more about our diverse students. We will also have a basket raffle to support our Student Lighthouse Team and leadership activities at our school. Please sign up to bring food or to assist during this event using this SignUpGenius.
- Spring 2025 Tests: Science, ELA, and Math dates and detailed information are included in the letter below. This letter has been also mailed to you.
- Please see the attached Art and Writing Contest for grades 5-12 sponsored by the NWACC.
Congratulations to our Students of the Week: Srija, Ava, and Anaum. Special shout out goes to Christian Rivera!
As always, please reach out to us with anything you may need!
Sincerely,
Middle School Administrative Team
